Trivia

  • Five episodes of this series, Cautious Connor, All in Vain, Tit for Tat, Mike's Whistle, and Useful Railway, were incomplete at the time Arc Productions went bankrupt and were finished off by Jam Filled Toronto after Jam Filled Entertainment bought the aforementioned studio.
  • Tracy-Ann Oberman joins the voice cast.
  • Ballast is the only story from the Small Railway Engines volume not to be adapted into an episode.
  • This series started production in 2014. Seven episodes of this series were produced by Robert Anderson, while the rest were produced by Tracy Blagdon. The seven episodes are Sidney Sings, Toby's New Friend, Henry Gets the Express, Letters to Santa, Henry in the Dark, Three Steam Engines Gruff, and The Christmas Coffeepot. Of these seven episodes, Sidney Sings, Letters to Santa, Toby's New Friend and Henry Gets the Express have a copyright date of 2015. All the other episodes in this series are dated 2016.
  • Only seven episodes were licensed to PBS (Sidney Sings, Diesel and the Ducklings, Saving Time, Letters to Santa, Love Me Tender, The Railcar and the Coaches, and Mucking About). However, The Christmas Coffeepot aired on Nickelodeon along with Terence Breaks the Ice from the following series. Other episodes from the series were eventually aired there following its official move in March 2018.
  • According to Ian McCue, The Christmas Coffeepot and Over the Hill were created exclusively for the Tinsel on the Tracks DVD, hence why they were not broadcast with the rest of the twentieth series and were instead broadcast with the twenty-first series. This is also why the two episodes are packaged with releases of the latter instead of the former, such as their exclusion from The Complete Series 20 and their inclusion on The Complete Series 21.
  • The next series' episode Hasty Hannah was originally part of this series, but was pushed in to the aforementioned series to make way for the Small engines adaptation episodes as well as Cautious Connor, which was originally part of the twenty-first series but was pushed forwards for this series instead, all written by Andrew Brenner.
  • The US dubs of the following episodes have currently only been shown on television and digital, and have yet to appear on home video in North America, with the unaired episodes marked with an asterisk:
    • Bradford the Brake Van *
    • Ryan and Daisy *
    • Pouty James
    • Blown Away
    • The Way She Does It
    • Mucking About
    • Buckled Tracks and Bumpy Cars *
    • Mike's Whistle
    • Useful Railway
  • The three songs made during this series have currently only been shown on DVD in UK and YouTube in US and have yet to appear on home video in North America are It's Halloween and the CGI songs of James the Really Splendid Engine and Accidents Will Happen.
  • This is the first series of multiple things:
    • The Troublesome Vans return in the CGI series since the seventh since Something Fishy.
    • Donald, Douglas, Alfie, Oliver, Max and Monty's first episodic appearances in full CGI.
    • The first series since the fourth series to have adaptations of the Railway Series stories.
    • The first series to have music composed by Chris Renshaw after Robert Hartshorne and Peter Hartshorne's contracts ended after production of the nineteenth series.
    • The first series where Charlie does not appear since his introduction in the thirteenth series.
    • The first series to feature the Skarloey Railway, but not to have any episodes dedicated to them.
    • The first series where Stanley speaks in more than one of his appearances since the twelfth series.
    • The first series to have episodes with animation by Jam Filled Toronto.
    • The first series since the sixteenth series where Thomas appears in every episode but does not speak in all of them.
    • The first series where Ryan, Skiff, Rex, Mike, Bert, Glynn, Judy, Jerome and both clergymen appear in an episode.
    • The first series since the fourteenth series that some episodes would be released in a past year during production with the rest being produced a year later.
    • The first series since the fourteenth series where Bertie appears, but does not speak.
    • The first series since her debut in the seventh series where Emily does not get a lead role.
    • The first series where Duncan appears in two episodes since the fifth and sixth series.
    • The first series since she joined the voice cast in King of the Railway without Rebecca O'Mara as part of the voice cast. It is also the first series without Jonathan Broadbent as a part of the voice cast since he joined in the seventeenth series, due to him departing after The Great Race.
    • The first series where Den, Dart, Timothy and Reg do not appear since their introductions in Day of the Diesels and Tale of the Brave respectively.
    • The first series to feature Henning Stegelmann as the German translator and dialogue director since the sixteenth series.
    • The first series not dubbed in Norwegian since the twelfth series.
  • This is the second series of a few things:
    • The second series without Thomas' name titled in any of the episodes, with the first being the fifteenth series.
    • The second series to have twenty-eight episodes, the first being the tenth series.
    • This is the second series where Paxton speaks only in one episode, the first being the eighteenth series.
